Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture.
Take each pork chop and dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press the pork chop into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear each pork chop for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step helps the coating adhere and adds extra crunch.
Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite sides.
